Let us hear -the conclusion ot tho wnolo matter: Fear Qod, and Keep his com tuanumentB: for this Is tho wholo duty of man. Ecc. 12:1, 111. Twelve and one-hall' billions was the value of the farm products last year. Quite a business notwithstanding there were some troubles connected with it. THE STORE CLERK AND YOU It makes quite a difference what kind of service you get from the people who hand over goods to you in a retail store. Do they just hand them over, naming tho price and then turning away with a kind of indifferent look? ' Or are they so anxious to sell to you, that they do not stop to consider what your wishes and needs are, but just try to put over on you whatever they think you will buy, and do it in the least possible time? . Those kinds of service you frequently see in stores whon you go away from home, where the clerks never saw you before and never expect to see you 'again. When you buy stuff in La Grande you get personal at tention, because the home store people know you, or at lcastl wish to do so. They consider not merely selling you thU lime, but pleasing you so well that you will come again. jAO WCYK STOPPED AS USUAUI?r FRONT KST ins- vb""" iimb , i v (orno MIS WHISKERS, BUT THB LOOKING (5iASS TWAT HAS BEEN a -rvirr vAjiurv-u. dus -m ai . a mi - ..

JjjrJimius " BELON(iKRS' ' Some one, as a popular cartoonist frequently reminds us, is always taking the joy out of life; and among the most im placable purveyors of gloom are the concocters of( statistics. Most of us can take figures or leave them alone; but these infatuated persons ace helpless addicts of the vice, and llu issuance of , a statistical report is enough to send them on n debauch of analysis and deduction.. They are mildly intoxi cated, for example, by the mere announcement in a ccnsu.i bureau bulletin to the effect that during the year 1923 the American public spent 10,fi00,0(l() for emblems and insignia of tho multifarious organizations of the country. Well, what of it? What if this docs corroborate t'.ie traditional charge that the American' is by habit a "jincr," a slave to the gregarious instinct and a psychological urge ,to "belong" to something or other, especially if membership endows him with a glittering uniform? The wearing of a (society's regalia is surely an innocent diversion, often .sym bolic of a lofty idealism. Resides, there is nothing that has a more beneficial effect upon sufferers from an in feriority complrx. Let a man be conscious of his obscurity .in tho social scheme, or of subordination to a stronger pe rsonality in his family relations, ami what could bo mine fcolacing to his mind, more stimulating to his spirit, than the privilege of apicaring from time to time in uniform and with a sword, even astiide a charger? Democracy docs make life n rather drab affair, and an occasional parade of richly caparisoned citizens is really in the nature of a public service. We have known men who satisfied desires in this direction by hoarding the badges and buttons acquired at political convention!'.. t Anyway, why this implication of the statisticians that the traffic in insignia is a deplorable extravagance? Can it be that their disclosure to inspired by the women, a subtle act of reprisal for department of commerce report reciting feminine expenditures for face powder and lipsticks? "I' n-Uli to complain," said Hie- bride haughtily, "about tho flour you sold me. It was tough." "Tough, madam?" . "Vs, toiiKli. I inn ilr a !! with It,' and my iiuslmmt could hardly cut It." In the good old duys he won ii bride by applying stone to hirr heud InHteud of her finger. Home people live fifty or sixty years with tight shoes ulwuys hurt ing their feet. . .
